Lionel, this is an error. I voted for the proposal, not against it.

It was a forgery, genius. You should learn to read headers.

You don't understand the difference between a poll & an actual vote?
I thought you'd spent time in news.groups?

One of the worst, weakest and lamest attempts at forgery that
have ever been seen around here.

I hate getting involved, but generally, a pre-RFD survey (if this
is one) shouldn't be expected to get as many participants as a real
Big-8 vote. Historically, that's been demonstrated repeatedly.
Pre-RFD surveys have gotten anywhere between 2-5 times FEWER
responses than actual votes (that's right, rather huge margins).
As such the main conclusion should only be based on the ratio
of FOR:AGAINST. Don't use pre-RFD surveys to predict the outcome
of the actual vote, either, as there are too many unknown variables.
Just use it to decide whether the proposal should go on to the
formal phases.

My standard proposals rant:
Quality, usefulness, merit, or non-newsgroups popularity of a topic
is more or less irrelevant in creating a new Big-8 newsgroup.
Usenet popularity is the primary consideration.

Sort of. It's actually a straw poll to see if there's enough interest in
the group to make it worth the effort to write up a real proposal. I'm
also using it to gauge peoples' feelings on what sort of moderation
policies they'd prefer. Call it a pre-pre-RFD. ;)

The troll who forged my email address to his post is also not very good
at counting. Plus, I've had quite a few "in favour, as proposed"
response via email from people who don't wish to be harassed by the
troll for publicly expressing their opinion.

I also hope to run a beta-test version of the proposed group on a
private news server, which will be a big help in debugging the mod-bot,
& will be invaluable in fine-tuning the moderation policies. I strongly
suspect that it will result in a huge "In favour" turn-out when it comes
to a genuine RFD/CFV.
